Over priced

They punched the greens less than a week and are charging full rate. Should be discounted.

Poor shape

Course wasn’t being taken of like in the past, fairways were dry, some greens were in bad shape. I like the course setup, it just needs some better maintenance before I show up again, including the clubhouse needs updating from the 80’s!

Pace of play was the condemning factor. That and the green quality.

Course Needs Serious Work - Very Friendly Staff

I have never left a review before, but after playing this course last week I felt I should in hopes to save a few fellow golfers some money.

I am in Savannah for the summer and decided to play here because it is close to where I am staying. I will not be going back.

The greens were absolutely terrible, not bad as in patchy, too long of grass, or dead grass, but completely unplayable. Don't get me wrong, I am no scratch golfer, I am usually mid-high 80s, but there were many holes where I picked up my ball anywhere within 30ft of the pin, because it wasn't worth putting.

Large chunks of greens missing, and replaced with poorly grown/maintained grass, long stretches of green with virtually no grass - completely dead and burned up were the main factors as to why the greens were so bad.

The course layout really is not bad at all, with proper maintenence I think it would be a very fun course, I am hoping this review will help to make some changes going forward.

I don't like being negative like this but in this case I felt it was necessary. The few staff I talked to at the beginning of my round were very kind, and seemed like good people, but the condition of the course was absolutely brutal. Would not recommend unless you are a VERY high handicapper and want to avoid going to a decent course for whatever reason.

Horrendous greens. Nice staff. She called me beautiful.

Course not worth the price if they aren’t improving the course.

On vacation

Greens were really bad but course was ok otherwise.

People behind us were hitting into us twice and when we told them to yell "four" to warn us, the guy just shrugged it off as no big deal. Don't think we would play it agian....maybe....

Not as expected

While many of the previous reviews were somewhat harsh, there not totally wrong. While the greens are not in great shape, there not unplayable as others would have you believe.

The tee boxes and fairways are in good shape and very playable.

The layout is extremely forgiving, no real significant difficulties for play

Making a tee time was incredibly easy, and the lady was very helpful. However checking in was a little rude. Play today was very slow with the foursome in front. But joined up with 2 of the nicest guys from the nearby army base.

Bottom line we really enjoyed our day.

they're not even trying to improve this tract

greens are bad to really bad. fairways don't have any grass and are not contoured. cart paths are terrible. this course has relatively high green fees, especially considering the course condition which hasn't improved in the last 20 years.
